2·23 hours agoYes, the idea that if something isn’t monetized it’s not worth doing is why we have 5 billion “influencers” on YouTube and the rest, though some of that is because a full time job in the Exploit Economy doesn’t even pay for regular cost of living so people are working after work instead of living.

The airlines do fine; they sell miles/points to banks who actually have money. Almost all US carriers are worth little or negative but their rewards programs have large valuations.
If you pay your bills in full and don’t pay interest you are beating the system, and it is “OMG free flights”/hotels/cash. You do give away tons of purchase info but you’re giving that away anyway unless you’re using cash.
I haven’t paid for a plane ticket since 2012. Made a huge hobby of credit card churning. Probably flew 200k miles on them. Otherwise I’d be skiplagging as the next best option.
That is fucking crazy

I don’t know metal would be the material of choice given the context, but point taken.
Yeah, looks like probably the app for privacy.com, the website was mentioned above. Thanks!
Ah, my bad. Just search the name (Stromberg, June 2026) and date of the primary research paper the graph came from, I scrolled through it until I found the graph in question.
Amazon is more clever than that; it’s why they bought Ring 10 years ago. They can throw their own camera and network into their drones.
Indeed recently made it so you can no longer store your resume to attach easily to applications; it was too useful. Now they auto -move you into a “were processing this with AI” workflow so that you won’t need your resume anymore (of course after you’ve fixed all their shit AI parsing of your resume) you’ll just need Indeed.
We definitely need a new horse in the race other than indeed and LinkedIn.
1·6 days agoWhat the fuck is happening to WinCo’s bulk food prices though? Ive bought there for decades and it’s now more expensive per pound than boxed Quaker oats(General Mills) granola sold in the same store, WinCo!?!
I almost lost my shit last month trying to reconcile how it could happen. Is WinCo doing target enshittification? Is GM reducing gouging?
I’ve also noticed yogurt pricing is not competitive some times with grocery outlet.
But they have to be white and preferably male.
Every industrialized country is freaking out about birthrates–some going on 20 years–and the US under Trump has thrown away the single largest economic advantage it had.

Remember the crazy hermit in Ravenholm in HL2 who won’t help you until you complete some tasks? He speaks at you over a loudspeaker and then through a slit in a door IIRC. It’s a beautifully designed level.
Anyway, I’d like to tip my hat to that crochety character by being an NPC who recites the Gettysburg Address during an epic onslaught.
